A.I. Love You (Manga)

When I picked this up off the shelf an odd year ago or so, I wasn't sure what to think. So, here's some help to those of you who aren't sure; what I DID think.

The story itself was, overall, very good, but there were times where a chapter simply added nothing to the overall plot. They felt like filler chapters, but luckily the short length meant there were very few of these. Even so, the story (and side stories) were charming and often fun to read. There were innuendos everywhere; Saati (the main female) didn't understand them and made good humour while Toeni (a second female) was much more knowledgeable and had often pointed out the irony. Which brings me smoothly onto characters.

Hitoshi, the main male, is one of those not so good looking but fairly funny, charming and embarrassed main male leads found in many of such mangas (such as Chobits and Love Hina). You couldn't hate him, but at the same time it was possible (from a girl's perspective) to see why no girl loved him. He made some comical moments, seemed to care, yet was as dense as the sweet Saati, who was another typical vulnerable, naive yet inspiring female. The extras and additional characters were also good, and all added that little bit - especially Puppy!

The art itself was nice and detailed; I liked the style of drawing a lot. The characters were all nicely designed and unique, with the exception of the main male who was somewhat typical in appearance too.

Overall, it's a good manga and one certainly worth reading. It's witty, sweet and a good break from what can otherwise be an arduous day.

You should certainly like this if you enjoyed:
-Love Hina
-Chobits
-Ah! My Goddess.

Hope that helps. :) read more
